One, it's a hella lot of work to update, and if given the choice between updating and working on your current, new projects, new wins. <br /><br />In my case, I spent 15 years writing screenplays and my writing changed (and improved) in so many ways. It would have done the same if I'd been writing novels the whole time, but since I was writing screenplays, the changes seem more marked. It's hard for me to read the old stuff because all I see is what I'd change on every single page. So letting somebody else copyedit/proofread and implementing their suggestions and letting it go saves my sanity.<br /><br />But I'm currently going against my previous decision and am updating Beguiled Again instead of publishing it as-is, so we shall see how much difference it makes. And now that I've written a 'post' here in comments, I'll go ahead and accept your invitation to write more articulately on this subject. How about July 17, or the Sunday after?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
